View .eml files on iPhone
When I travel, I load my travel documents into Dropbox so I can have easy access on my iPhone. Most documents display fine but I am unable to view .eml, (Windows email files), on my iPhone or iPad. I think that I used to be able to view this type of file on IOS devices but no longer. .eml files can be easily viewed on a Windows laptop or Android device. Am I doing something wrong?
Please note that Dropbox no longer claims to support opening *.eml files as per its help section: https://help.dropbox.com/files-folders/preview
Much the same request Marie. .eml files from Altavista (iPad/iPhone) move into the specified Dropbox directory OK but it would be so good to read them natively. Huge on the wish list!
Much like Adrian L. A BIG BIG WISH LIST PLEASE.
Should've said AltaMail (not Altavista) but the wish remains the same. Thanks for making it happen - when it does!
Hi Adrian L, it seems to me that Klammer can do, that which Dropbox cannot. Obvious choice " talk to Klammer. PS I've no association. Just wish this one was sorted.
Still my BIG, BIG wish list.
Still a maybe.
I am also having the same issue as the O.P saving windows emails but unable to open them and in view of other people having the same issue surprised that the Dropbox team have not resolved this yet.

I based the post on the fact Marie didnt mention the need for any third party app - I, however, always thought you did.

I have always had to use a 3rd party app. * Note it has been some time since my need to open one.
